:lol: bram... the "grumpy smurf" avatar really suits you. :lol:

well people, come up with a concrete plan , plann together with the other known organisers of big european meets, and maybe its going to be something.

maybe this old guy will even get there with my old scar faced wedge.. did overcome bigger challenges with it.

maybe sophie can be of big help and organise a truckload of enthausiasts.

Talk with the belgian 480 msn club too ,this cosy cohesive club will be present if you talk to them ...talk to coyote.. talk to dbs and dragon to have his lambo doored psychosed car there as a highlight ?

any other idea's any one ?

make a confident concrete plan first, before wondering if anyone is showing up. Make it worthwhile !
luck,
JPF

Worried about distance driving? Then think big: why not to make it in Transylvania? :lol:
A one day pause in Hungary, at lake Balaton (or elsewhere) could be an option. I can *really* help make it happen ;)

we need people to organise this properly. I live on the other side of the country so I can't be of much help from here.

I'd love to help organize, as I already offered to do a meet in south of france, but I guess I'll be working, or touring, so I don't even know if I'll be able to come anyway

I'd definantly be up for it, it's easier to get to than North Wales from up here and by then I should have everything together.
